Project Update
The pantry is done, the office finally has power, and the electrician let me hold some tools I probably shouldn't be holding.
Red, white, blue, and a whole lot of pegboard. The pantry is officially a room now.
It's been a few weeks since the last update, and that's mostly on us. We were stuck waiting on the carpenter's schedule and an electrician who apparently has other clients besides us. In the meantime we touched up some paint, cleaned up the shop, and quietly reworked the electrical plan to keep the budget from getting out of hand.
Then this weekend happened, and it happened fast. The pantry went from studs and a plan to a finished room, cabinets, cubby, and all. Those $650 Facebook Marketplace cabinets you'll remember from a few episodes back finally have a home, and they fit better than we had any right to expect. The office got wired for the first time, which means we can actually work in there now instead of just standing around admiring drywall. And the electrician started laying groundwork for the whiskey wall, the front room, and even the Ring doorbell, so we can stop worrying about the battery dying every other week.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The pantry came in cheaper than expected, which almost never happens on this build. The electric isn't finished yet, but between the alternative layout we worked out and the electrician letting me tag along, we're tracking well under the original quotes.
